@Venom21,

 

Not a problem. I did the same thing to other folks in the past. 

 

@legolas777,

 

Use the F9 boot option menu to boot from a W11 installation USB drive you created.

 

Connect the usb drive to the notebook. Turn it on and immediately press the F9 key repeatedly for the boot option menu.

 

Select the usb drive in the menu and hit the Enter key to start the W11 installation.

 

If you don't see the USB drive in the boot option menu, it may be because the usb drive doesn't contain necessary boot files or is not compatible with the Windows installer.

 

Recreate a W11 usb drive from scratch and try again. If it still doesn't work, use a different usb drive with a smaller size like 32 GB.

Apparently, HP no longer provides driver/BIOS download support website as your Pavilion 17-e101sl reached the end of support life.

 

The latest BIOS file HP issued for your model with an Intel processor is F.28, and the screenshot shows that you already have it.

Here's another example of force-installing Windows 11 on a computer which Microsoft would prefer you throw in the trash or pay them $30 for an extra year of Windows 10 updates. While this is not the fastest machine out there, with an upgrade from the original hard drive to a solid state drive ...
